Grilled Peach Chick-Pizza
This doughy grilled peach chick-pizza reminds me of a cross between falafel, pizza and a peach tart. Quite a meal packed into one. It is not super crispy in the center but is sturdy and can easily be picked up. I should also mention that it happens to be high in plant based protein, due to the chickpea flour used in the dough. This is an awesome pizza option for anyone avoiding wheat or suffering from gluten allergies; or if you’re like me, anyone who likes experimenting with different textures and flavors. The size of this pizza is small, but it is deceptively filling. Two people could be very satisfied splitting one. But if you are really hungry, make two and save the leftovers for later.
